Bungie Possibly Working On A Deep RPG Experience?

The studio is looking for a lead writer to help design their "game universe" and they'll give the nod to someone who boasts "branching or nonlinear narrative experience." The "branching" part sort of implies something deeper; all the Halo games featured linear plots (with the exception of some flashbacks in last year's ODST).

Lastly, let's not forget about that Player Investment Designer who will be tasked with providing players with a virtual experience "with real value and consequence." It goes on to say we'll have "long-term goals" during the game, and that we'll dive into deeper character development.
